What was the craziest rumour at your school ?

[wriggleigglepiggle]

Ours was that the maths teacher left because he was Mr January in a porn mag, nicknamed 'Billy big balls'. Everyone knew of someone who knew someone who'd seen it.

What nonsense went round your school ?

Maths teacher had an affair with a pupil (11-16 school). Her parents didn't mind.

They really didn't. I taught his son years later and he confirmed the whole story. Teacher had married his mum and they were all living happily ever after.

Ha im sure these first 2 ring a bell. The 90s were wild.

There was always tales of older girls getting up to no good.

A pupil raped a pony. It wasn't a rumour.

How do you even get round to that conversation?

Also a man called Trampy Joe lived at the bottom of the field and he'd kidnap you if you didn't give him money

That a PE teacher was having an affair with a student in the year above me (year 9, so she would have been 14). It transpired to be true, and the teacher was sacked and later hung himself when the affair was discovered.

In year 10 I was off school with a bug for 3 days and came back to find out there was a rumour going round that I was pregnant. I was not!

The rumour that was true was that the art teacher was shagging the music teacher. They actually got married but then divorced rather quickly and 1 of them left.

If it was him who left, not her, I'm impressed.

Our science teacher actually did discover some component to the inhaler wtf! I believe he's dead now. He was a seriously overweight man so I don't think he'd have made it far into old age.

Bloody Mary still lives in school toilets apparently! Caused DD a few nightmares last year.

Strange how these urban myths persist.

That the French teacher and the maths teacher were having an affair. A few years later I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar (literally) in the local hotel when they came in and sat together all cosied up in one of the booths.

I went to an all girl Convent school and there was a rumour that one of the nuns had fallen down the stairs and died and now haunted those stairs. It got silly, and some of the pupils actually became hysterical. The Head Mistress had to talk to us in assembly 😅

Nothing sexual but when I was in the infants school many years ago...as we all congregated in the playground before school..the rumour was hot that one of the boys had been electrocuted at home and his mother carried his dead body to school and deposited him in the teachers staff room.
He had actually died from electrocution that morning by helping his mum and putting money in the electricity meter
Another one was that our school was a c of e school and was connected to the rear of the church by a long passageway which was haunted.. this was true I found out later in grown up life.

Bloody Mary is still in my Y4/5 girls toilets if the rumours are to be believed...

There was a rumour the history teacher had had an affair with a boy and given him a blow job in the supplies cupboard.

We called her Miss Gobblelot

In the end, the head teacher had to have an assembly and tell the whole school that it wasn't true and that it was started by a girl who had been suspended for hitting the history teacher.

The craziest one was secondary school.
There was a lad in a year above me, a goth with long black hair that was also tall and thin.. Everyone swore he was a vampire and he slept in a coffin and stole corpses...

People actually properly believed it.

The 'evidence', as I recall:
He had a load of those little white and green glass type stones that he collected from the graves of the corpses he stole..
He was seen walking at midnight carrying a spade in one hand and a sack of bones in the other...
when the class photo was done, where he was stood, he wasn't there because he can't be photographed...
🫠

I got to know him several years after school and had to ask about the Vampire nonsense..
The green and white stones - his dad was a gardener and someone had had those stones put down as decoration - nothing to do with graves..
He was seen walking with spade at 'night' but it was 8pm in winter and he'd been helping his dad do a bit of gardening..
And the photo.. well.. he was ill the day it was taken..
🤣🤣

Ayrshire?

That one of the boys shagged a dog in Y10. A girl from our year later married him and I just don’t see how she could see past the rumour. It’s all anyone “knew” about him.

I expected this to be a more common rumour at different schools. The male version of the test tube dildo.

A couple of times different pupils had fairly minor accidents at school (sprained ankle or cuts needing a few stitches etc) and were taken to a and e. Immediately rumours started up that they had died or broken their necks. One time the deputy head had to call an emergency assembly to tell us all that the rumours weren't true.

Primary school....that Elvis Presley was buried in the rose garden near the bottom playground. Even at 8 years old I thought that was rubbish. I mean an American famous singer laid to rest in a Herts Primary school.

Secondary school that the two art teachers were having an affair and got caught having sex in the art cupboard
Apparently they bribed the kid not to say anything by giving them coloured pencils lol.
He did leave soon after and went to teach at my younger sister's school where the rumour carried on.

Secondary school again that a girl in year 9 was having an affair with a coach driver
That was true. I didn't know how she could. Imo all the coach drivers were ugly fat and old and grumpy too.

Secondary school again. Girl in year below us (year 10) was pregnant. Also true. She had the baby not long after being kicked out of our school.

Me at a girls school and db at a boy’s school. Concerned friends all gathered round me one morning because my brother had been shot dead at school the day before… another was he’d been knee capped. They were adamant. Took them a while to hear me explain he’d sat opposite me that very morning eating breakfast. He was alive and using his legs!

Turned out a boy had fired an air riffle in db’s class but db was in the library so not even in the room.

That one of year 11s was shagging the electrician (mid 20s) who was doing the lighting for the school play and that he got her pregnant and she had to have an abortion.
Oh yeah - that wasn’t a rumour- that was me.
But everyone else had a laugh about it

That Mrs H, the RE teacher wasn't plumbed right and gave birth to her daughter through her arse.

That our DT teacher was the father of the very young DT technician's baby.

If a kid died during an exam then you'd all get A's (80's).

That Marilyn Manson had a rib removed so he could give himself a blow job. How did that rumour mange to spread around the world well before the days of the internet?
